GAS APPARATUS.

SPEGTFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 592,185, d t d, O tober19, 1897.

Serial No. 607,894- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. BAKER, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kingsand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in'Oil-Gas Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription;

The object of my invention is to provide a device whereby oil and steamwill be perfectly commingledand atomized in an atomizer within a retort,and delivered in its atomized state within the retort, to produce aspeedy,

effective, and economic conversion of the two factors into anilluminating-gas.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will behereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out inthe claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section through a retort and througha portion of the device, other portions of the latter being shown inside elevation; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical longitudinal sectionthrough the main portion of the attachment to the retort.

In carrying out the invention the device consists of a casing A, whichis preferably of cylindrical form and of any desired length and"dimensions, the said casing being provided with attached nipples 10 and1 1 in its upper surface; The nipplell ordinarily receives: a bushing12, into which a pipe 13 is screwed and through which steam is to beconducted.

Thenipple 1O receives'a pipe 14, through;

end, the end portions of the bore or chamber of the nozzle being ofgreaterdiameter than the diameter at its center.

An atomizing-nozzle 19 is secured in the nipple 11, which is adjacent tothe distributing-nozzle, and the aforesaid atomizing-nozzle extends apredetermined distance within the distributing-nozzle, being providedat'its upper or outer end with a flange 20, usually engaged by thebushing 12, and at the inner end of the said atomizing-nozzle ah orifice21 is formed.

In practice the casing and itsdistributingtube 16 are located within aretort 22, the steam-pipe 13 and oil-pipe 14; being carried through theretort to a suitable connection with the casing, while the 'usualgas-offtake pipe 23 is connected with the interior of the retort, asillustrated in Fig. 1. The oil enters the casing and is delivered intothe distributin g-nozzle 17, where it is met by a jet of steam from thepipe 13 passing through the atomizing-nozzle, and the steam and oil arecom- 'mingled in the distributing-nozzle and atomclaim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patentr 1. In an oil-gas apparatus, a casingadapted to be introduced into a retort, said casing being closed at oneend and provided in one side at its closed end with an oil-inlet andnear its open end with a steam-inlet, a distributingnozzle secured toand projecting from the open end of the casin g, and a curvedatomizingnozzle secured in the steam-inlet and projecting into thedistributing-nozzle, substantially as described. 1

2. In an oil-gas apparatus, a casing adapted to be introduced into aretort, said casing bein g closed at one end and provided with steam andoil openings in its side, a conducting-pipe secured to the open end ofthe casing, a distributing-nozzle secured to the said open end of thecasing and projecting into the conducting-pipe, and a curvedatoinizing-nozzle secured in the steam-inlet and projecting into thedistributing-nozzle, substantially as described.

In an oil-gas apparatus, the combination with a casing having its openend interiorly and exteriorly threaded and provided in its side withnipples for the attachment of steam and oil supply pipes, a conductingtube screwed upon the exterior of the casing, a distributing-nozzlescrewed into the interior of the said casing and projecting into thecondueting-tube, and an atoniizing-nozzle provided with a flanged outerend and seated in the steanvnipple, said nozzle being curved I 5 andprojecting into the distributing-nozzle, substantially as described.
